Of Monsters and Men

Now that I'm going to say this, it's probably not like it.

But for some reason, it reminds me of Monsters and Men.

But not.

Do you know of Monsters and Men?

What? No.

Yes.

Yeah.

I've seen Alison Krauss, Of Monsters and Men.

That's the song I had in my s- stuck in my head.

Oh, that's a good one too

Mm-hmm.

We, yeah.

Um, who else have I seen? Alison Krauss, uh, Of Monsters and Men.

I know I've seen a ton of shows, but I can't think of anything right now, but they've all been at GS- well, no, the, what was that little venue that used to be downtown?

So definitely gonna catch that.

Uh, Friday, I'm gonna have to make some really hard choices between 6:00 and 8:00 because there is Violent Femmes and Of Monsters and Men.

But Foster the People and The Flaming Lips are both going up against each other.

So, um, so Friday is interesting.

Yeah.

What's the room?

So Violent Femmes are up against a band from Iceland called Of Monsters and Men.

That's your guys.

No Brains, No Lightbulbs is a production of Trivia Mafia.

You don't like Of Monsters and Men? Oh, I can't even express to you how much I hate that band.

I've burned you a CD with only

them on it.

I believe you do hate them.

Um, the...

Oh! It's Of Monsters and Men.

That's correct.

After an EP release in 2021 and a collaborative album with friends in 2022, she put out her debut album, entitled A Place to Be, late last year.

That release has led to an eventful 2026, which has seen her perform at showcase festivals in Denmark, Wales, Spain, and Croatia, plus a key appearance at the South by Southwest Festival, and a supporting slot with a band of monsters and men on a European tour.

What is time but a silent third? And you give it to someone who doesn't give it back.

I'm Tim Pogo, and this is Northern Rising, Iceland music on the verge.

Try

to get out of bed Try to get dressed Dream of warm summer air When do we get there?

All right, now, first, how do you not love a song title like Pickled Peaches, right? Anyway, for this track, Raquel teamed up with a few of her musician friends, Nana from Of Monsters and Men, Salome Katrin, and Skoolies Ferrison.

They packed up their instruments and recording gear, as well as some groceries, went out to a cabin in the countryside, and made the song.
